The logical guess is it’s looking likely the AFLPA and Safework were told a bullshit story that came from Crows admin which dismissed the stories as pure rumours. Sounds like either the players versions weren’t asked, believed or they were told to keep quiet.
Would also make sense as to why a few players wanted to exit after the camp.

Logical guess? Seriously if any agency such as Safe Work SA, the AFL or the AFL PA who are now apologising/acting dumb couldn’t find this information out when doing their investigation they should be packing their bags also. A lot of these recollection of events happened in a public space and if they just listened to one side of events they should be shot.

Safework and AFL both knew it all, Eddie confirmed that on 360 last night. It is only the AFLPA that are claiming they didnt know even though they spoke to the players.

It's not like he's come out and decided to rag on the camp and the club out of the blue. The people responsible for bringing this up are the media, who are choosing to highlight one aspect of the book, one part of an amazing, truly inspiring story of a proud black man when there are so many great stories about Eddie Betts to report on.
Yes of course the camp was bad obviously, and of course Adel handled this poorly - but the commentary around Betts getting over it, or non-indigenous players not bringing it up, or that he had his chance to talk about it etc are ******* stupid.
The whole focus should be on his book release and the story of his life - the barriers he overcame and broke down, and the pathway he's forged for the next generation of Aboriginal people,, but no, that doesn't generate enough hatred and vitriol for the media to worry about.
